Review Highlights
"Busiek State Forest & Wildlife Area is such a peaceful and beautiful place to spend the day. The trails are well-marked with a good mix of easy walks and more challenging sections, and the scenery changes enough to keep things..."
"Pretty much grew up here. It's my go-to in the Springfield area. I love Busiek!!"
"The only negative is the overnight camping. Lots of highway noise, and if you're a light sleeper, it can be hard to sleep. Everything else is great, clean water tons of places to explore. The hiking is good, well-used trails..."
